Delta Plus virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on countries to take precautionary measures, including vaccinations and masks, to stop the Delta Plus virus variant of Covid-19. Russia’s World Health Organization (WHO) spokeswoman Molotov Zhonovic has warned that Delta Plus could be shut down if short-term measures are not taken.
Delta Plus virus, also known as AY.1, is a genetic variation of the Delta variant B.1.617.2. “Vaccination is mandatory to prevent this, and if everyone is vaccinated, the risk of the virus spreading and the severity of the disease will be reduced,” Molotov said. The Delta Plus variant is characterized by increased proliferative capacity, the ability to bind strongly to receptor cells in the lungs, and the ability to break down antibody resistance. Delta has also achieved a variant called the K417N from the Covid-19 beta variant, first discovered in South Africa.
